“Wings of Fire” series.”―SLJ Set in a vivid, Arab-inspired world filled with
friendly and fearsome water dragons, K.D. Halbrook’s Silver Batal and the

dragons. Destiny comes calling when her friendship with a mysterious old woman
leads her to Hiyyan, a baby dragon that can swim and fly. Risking everything,
Silver, Hiyyan, and her resourceful cousin Brajon set off across the desert to
join the legendary races in the royal city. But the road to Calidia is filled
with danger, and the trio must band together as they encounter ferocious cave
beasts, clever desert foxes, and cutthroat competition. As Silver and Hiyyan
soar through the skies and speed through the seas, both must learn what
they’re willing to sacrifice for a shot at glory. Read more
